Yesterday we were honoured to arrange a truly unique farewell.
The family chose Defender hearse from our friends at Bennetts Funeral Directors Ltd, followed by a striking supercar cortege, creating a powerful and personal tribute that reflected their loved one’s passions.

A fitting final journey for someone who lived life with style and individuality.

We’re always here to help families create something truly personal.

A lovely review for our Kidderminster funeral home ❤️

“Hi Penny. I just want to say from my heart a massive thank you for the love and care from yourself arranging Ian’s beautiful funeral. It felt so personal and nothing was too much trouble. The funeral itself was so beautiful and personal... I can't thank yourself, Greg and the whole team enough. Thank you.”

We’re proud to share this new video from SAIF independent funeral directors – highlighting just how important it is to talk openly with your family about your funeral wishes 🎥

Too often, people see the misleading adverts on TV and believe they’re making the right choice – but sadly, that’s not always the case for the family left behind.

Whether you’re thinking about a funeral plan or already have one in place, it’s worth taking a few minutes to speak to us – or your local, family-owned funeral director – for honest advice and peace of mind 💬

Because when it comes to saying goodbye, local care makes all the difference.

This Remembrance Day, we honour the men and women who served with courage and compassion, and those who continue to serve today.

May we always remember their sacrifice and hold their memory with gratitude.

A direct cremation doesn’t mean a lack of choice.

Unlike the direct cremations you see advertised on TV, with us you can still honour your loved one in your own way, from arranging a memorial gathering to selecting a coffin that feels right.

We remain to offer the face-to-face support and guidance throughout the process, offering the likes of in chapel services within our funeral homes to allow you to say your goodbyes in a way that feels right for you.

Grief affects both the heart and the mind. This World Mental Health Day, we want to remind anyone who is struggling that it’s okay to not be okay.

Whether you’re coping with the loss of a loved one or simply finding life overwhelming, taking small steps towards self-care can make a difference:

🌹 Talk to someone you trust
🌹 Take time for rest and reflection
🌹 Reach out for professional support if you need it

If today feels heavy, know that you are not alone. Support is always available and we are here to listen whenever you need us.

Thank you for your kind review ❤️

“We were very happy with Hicktons. Louise organised everything, it all ran like a dream, communication was excellent, and they take all the stress out of organising at a very sad time. Would definitely recommend a good family business like Hicktons for a family member's funeral. Thank you, Louise.”

Meet the team: Penny Stubbs 👋

Penny is at our Kidderminster Funeral Home as maternity cover. She previously worked for Cooperative Funeral Care for three years as a Funeral Administrator. She relocated to Kidderminster and spent several months working on her new home before joining the Hickton Family Funeral Directors team.

Three fun facts…
➡️ Rihanna held her hand at a festival while she was trying to get a stone out of her shoe
➡️ She broke her left ankle, then broke her right one two days after the first cast had come off
➡️ She quite literally bumped into Andrea Bocelli on a ship and told him to “look where he was going” – she didn't know who he was!
